No tried the above and other combinations, but no change at all, as mentioned it seem like I do not have shorthands. Instead the date gets formatted with these placeholders {l}{o}{n}{g}, see also http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php and http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php#datetime.constants.types.

Test for sure in i18n tests.
